But not China!!!

(Except for the copious amount of drop shipping we do, component parts, manufacturing, and many other aspects of the global economy we engage with them on and will continue to do unabated once the political theatre is out of the way because people want to believe in a boogeyman that’s making eggs more expensive)

You can make up statistics for anything. 80% of people know that!!

Because the people who buy them have it and BMW can get more out of them. The real problem is that they’ll buy it, and other manufacturers will see “hey, it’s a successful model and additional revenue generation!”

Shackleton identified, establishing Jamestown now.

God damn it…

God damn it.

And D&D Beyond is another great example - you have shit tons of material and a source that was built by someone else, you buy it and do nothing with it? And it’s not intuitive and lacks basic features?

I’m super excited to see what kind of microtransaction laced minimal effort game we get from them.

FREEDOM IS NOT OPTIONAL

• Tries to improve game
• makes everything significantly worse

Yep, classic Bethesda.

It’s the opposite of giving the EU the middle finger, it’s taking advantage of them opening the system. Just because Apple lists it doesn’t prevent them from taking it down off the App Store; having it loaded from his own does.

They specifically used r/buyitforlife as an example of how to market on Reddit. Thing is that the trustworthiness came from users and this will dilute the trust in that sub rendering it useless. I hate what they have become.

They really want to fuck with it? Wait for IPO day and THEN stage a mass protest. That, I would love to see.

My wife and I had our son via IVF. We wanted every single one of our fertilized eggs to work, but they didn’t. We had one that did and we suffered every time one didn’t.

Fuck Alabama for adding on to the torment and emotional suffering families going through IVF and any kind of infertility suffer already. It’s just adding unspeakable cruelty again.

Kojima and cyborg ninjas - name a more iconic combo

I mean, that’s kind of exactly what Hubspot is supposed to be used for? It’s a remarketing tool so at the most basic it’s good for advertising subs you may be interested in, at its worst it’s used by MBAs to justify destroying a platform to sell products to people with the guise of the information coming from fellow users, but is instead coming from bots and corporate accounts using your data to sell you products worse than the ones you wanted in the first place, eliminating the trusted environment to at Reddit once claimed to be all the while showing you subreddits you have absolutely no interest in.

Makes sense to me!

Oh yeah, the apartheid emerald mining is never out of my mind when I think of this asshat.

“No, of course it’s a joke about them sleeping on the floor. We will provide Tesla-branded housing onsite, and with the added convenience of the Tesla store and the workers being paid in Teslabux to pay me back for the room and board, they’ll always be ready to do my bidding.”

“What should we do? Just PAY the developer for the feature? Nah, we’ll just continue to file lawsuits and eventually settle in the inevitable class action from buyers which will certainly not be more than what we would have spent just licensing it in the first place”

Look, I’m not one for patent trolling, but this is pretty blatant on Apple’s end and as a Series 9 owner it’s annoying because it’s a feature I upgraded for that I’ll lose access to just because they don’t want to be told they’re wrong. Such corporate bullshit.

I enjoyed it but I also know that it wasn’t “great”. But I’ll admit that I got it on game pass and I’m a BES nerd, so that probably elevates it more. Had I paid full price my attitude would probably be very different.

Micromanagers and building owners

I was going to say, I sold phones a while back too for 5 years. It’s amazing how much stuff people leave on their phones and that you don’t want to see. And yeah, you’re saying they should know but many don’t. Every trade in things specifically says to wipe the device prior to trade in and gives instructions on how to do so.
